DOG RUNNER!

Give me all the big goofy misunderstood pups, senior dogs that need their space, and special needs pups!! I have over 30 years of experience with dogs. I am in the process of retiring from the military. ALL of my free time is dedicated to my dogs and YOURS. I have fostered adopted and worked with countless dogs of all ages and breeds over the years, and understand firsthand how uneasy it might feel to leave your special pup at a house, day care or loud kennels that don’t personably suit your specific needs. I’ve been there MANY times over the years when traveling with my job and it was nerve wracking. Now it’s time for me to be the one to help in these situations. I will provide one on one attention, exercise, and relaxing time with your pup, and will have a bedroom dedicated for him/her in a comfortable home setting. At night, I will sit with him/her until they are settled in their bedroom, I board one dog at a time, unless it’s 2 from the same family.

Doggy Day Care • giu 20, 2026

I am SO grateful to have found Amanda. I have a 60lb pitbull who is pretty timid. Amanda has always been communicative and reliable - she confirms dates, checks in, send pictures and a report card. I trust her at both my home and having my dog boarded at hers. Amanda also helped me pick up my dog Princess from double cruciate limb surgery! She lent me a crate pen, AND took my dog out on a sling in winter when Princess was initially post surgery and I was so overwhelmed as a single dog Mom. I highly recommend Amanda and am SO grateful to have her in our life. 🧡🐾

Dog Walking • mag 08, 2026

I'd rather eat glass then use Mandy ever again. 1st time on Rover , I was a bit disheveled as I am a truck driver and was home on a Friday night after missing my birthday on Wednesday ( 55 a big one !!) We met, I apologized for having a hangover but wanted my beautiful puppy Misty to sn enjoy a nice long walk as I have a necrotic hip and walking far hurts .. It apparently went very well for Misty until she came home and peed on the floor, I yelled of course and put her in the crate to clean it up .. Mendy left but 4 hrs later I've got animal control investigating me for neglect. Misty has been having this issue for awhile which I'd why she is scheduled to to a professional board and train facility for 2 weeks .. I know it was Mandy because officer told me my name. My dog breed and they I had 2 cats .. I contacted HR and she wouldn't reply.. Rover support won't do anything at all but give me a credit to use the service.. should I risk it because they won't refund? Probably

Mandy is so professional. She had pen and paper in hand and taking notes at our first meeting. She even made a special visit late night to make sure the aminals were OK after a nasty thunder storm ran thru the area. The animals loved her. Even my shy calico was rubbing up on her by the end of their week together. I can't imagine having any other sitter after seeing the care Mandy took of my babies.

Mandy was so amazing and we could tell from the very first interaction when we met her, she loves and enjoys caring for animals. We needed a very last minute drip in visit and she said as so flexible and accommodating! Super easy to work with - I wish there were more like her! Definitely would hire her again!

All dogs are amazing, but rescues have a true place in my heart, I am highly experienced with them bc I fostered, adopted, and raised them, and learned how to provide specific care that adheres to each individual dog’s various needs. ❤️‍🩹

No breed preferences. If your dogs tends to be a little nervous or have separation anxiety, don’t worry, he or she will be in caring hands. Plenty of exercise attention, or quiet cuddle time if needed, and activities in doors and outdoors. Some dogs don’t eat when they’re away from mom/dad, so let me know if it is ok to add a pinch of something extra to their food, like chicken, pumpkin, cheese, or egg.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
